About
Faculty Advisors: Chris Monk & Daphne Watkins
I am a doctoral candidate studying the developmental shaping of resilience. My research focuses on examining: 1) how relational and sociocultural factors protect and promote brain development and well-being across the lifespan, and 2) how resilience is bolstered, maintained, or diminished throughout the life course. I am integrating neuroscience and social work frameworks to advance trauma-informed practices and systems.
Research Interest: Developmental Shaping of Resilience, Neuroscience of Resilience, Life-course Perspective, Strength-based Framework, Cultural Variability, Trauma-Informed Practices and System
